Well, there is the rumor of an HR44 with wireless networking. This wouldn't be too difficult. Perhaps D* can finally make use of the USB port that's been on every HD-DVR for the last 7 years. How hard would it be for them to write a custom driver for a USB 802.11n adapter. The hardware itself is already available for less than $40 retail.

Yes, but they were seen at partner booths (i.e. entropic, samsung, etc.).

Yup - correct.

I suspect there will be a number of DirecTv folks mingling at CES as in the past. There will be more than 15 DBSTalkers onsite as well...so it would be fair to say that a number of eyes will be open there to see what might be seen.

Not really from DirecTV but I would love to see some RVU client/server Blu-Ray players, and other RVU devices.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

How about just debuting a firmware that doesnt make the HRx run like it is sitting in mud.

A pause for polishing is long overdue.

While CES is not open to the general public, DBSTalk posting members will attend at their own expense and on their own voluntary time.

As was the case the past few years, DirecTV is not scheduled to have a booth, however they usually have a number of folks at this event. It is likely that reports from CES (usually with photos) will appear at DBSTalk as they have for a number of years. Here are just a few samples of past reports from CES:
